There was once a thing on TV called Never Seen Star Wars or similar - the concept being things a person hasn't done that most others have.

How about a Northamptonian one? I have honestly never been to Billing Aquadrome although many out of towners I meet have and loved it (strangely!)

I have never been to The Saints, I have seen inside the ground through work but never been to a match. My visits to Silverstone have been through work as well, drove down a bit of the track as well

Ah yes, I missed the elephant in the room. Never been to Franklins Gardens either but I know Silverstone well, right back to when it had railway sleepers as crash barriers (which was only 1988 BTW!)

I have never been to the Boot and Shoe Museum.

I've never been to that house they're always banging on about at Derngate. I suspect I'm not alone in that on here.

Keep it that way. Billing Aquadrome stinks. Went to the Chinese restaurant nearby last year, and whilst outside I nearly threw up with the stink from the nearby sewerage works.
